    In my Facebook memories 7 years ago today we went to my local pub and my mate Kenny was singing. He did that song by the killers are we human. Well, everybody in there(it was a proper local community pub) they all knew each other since the 60s and they all went on holiday together every year in Portugal. Something happened, everybody all got up together and started dancing the same dance, they used to do it in Portugal apparently. It was something a bit special, the entire pub all got together on it, it was like you see African tribes dancing in the movies all having fun together.

    The bad part of this is 7 years later none of the older couples are still alive. And the pub has been demolished.

    Bittersweet I think the word is. That memory stood out for me as a special day and I'm a little bit sad today.

    Life is fucking fantastic. From what I've learned you need to just enjoy every second of it because you really don't have long.

      Editing … That's pushing it to the limit but you're absolutely right. If you can adjust your brain to be grateful for every minute you'll never be unhappy again.

      Editing … Well the older couples seemed to have a feeling that this is the last time they are all around. Such unconscious instinct is quite common, then my grandpa talked to his brother again after over 20 years the third also apeared on same day to meet eachother one last time.

      Editing … I didn't even know my dad's dad was still alive. We went to my uncles funeral a couple of years ago and he was there, We'd not seen or heard of him in 35 years. I really should get in touch with him again before it's too late.
